Post a picture of the complete frame, maybe stand on a ladder or something so we can see the overall showing the tail shaft of the transmission, in relation to the rear axle and pinion

Do we know for sure the tail shaft of the transmission is centered on the mount?

Did you replace the trailing arm bushings at the front of the trailing arms where they connect to the cross member? Could one of the bushings (drivers side specifically) be bad and allowed the rear housing to shift forward on that side? Assuming you have trailing arms.. ?

Is it possible the frame is a cut down long bed or anything like that? Have you checked the frame for square?
